Learning at UBC

Attend a lecture on lunch break. Visit a museum after work. Drop by the second-largest research library in Canada. Work one-on-one with a certified coach, or take an academic or continuing studies course. UBC has some of the top thinkers and researchers in Canada and the world, and as part of one of Canada’s premier universities, endless opportunities to expand your learning horizons are at your fingertips.
